Manage Retained Searches With Precision and Transparency
Executive search firms operate on retained mandates with milestone-based billing. The search process — from market mapping and longlisting through shortlisting and final placement — requires structured tracking and regular client updates. Most CRMs treat this like a standard sales pipeline, missing the nuance that executive search demands.
GraftPal gives executive search firms a milestone-driven pipeline with candidate scoring, document management, and milestone-based invoicing — keeping clients informed and billing accurate throughout the engagement.
Why GraftPal
GraftPal supports the retained search model with milestone pipelines, candidate scoring, shortlist management, and milestone-based invoicing — giving executive search firms the structure their premium service demands.
